Please give mode details about your system and the emulator used, as requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

@tenmabashi have you tried using lr-mame2010 or lr-mame2016 with the correct romset?

I want you to correct this problem by all means.

That's not the right way to ask for help
That's not the right place to make a bug report, retropie is not developping those emulators
Your post lacks important informations

@barbudreadmon he could have provided more information for sure but it also sounds like English may not be his first language. I wouldn't assume he was trying to come off demanding, something probably lost in translation.

It's not mine either.

donkey kong jr. sample set missing ??

MAME needs the correct sample set depending on what version of MAME. Which one are you using for the arcade emulator. MAMe is VERY specific about what ROM set AND what sample set. It looks like you might be missing the sampel set

Try playing donkey kong ... if you get no background noises then you are missing the sample sets

Assuming you are using the default MAME emulator, which should be MAME2003, this use MAME 0.37b5 which is ancient in MAME terms (MAME v0.41 July 2000)

Download ALL these here :

http://samples.mameworld.info/Older Samples.htm

and put them here (I use OSMC with RetroPie installed via RetroSMC so I just use OSMC instead of the 'pi' location)

/home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/mame2003/samples/

This might give you a few tips and help as well

@barbudreadmon I guess you can sympathize then ;)

@steptoe anything past mame2003 on the pi dont need sample sets any more. They did away with those on like mame .116 or somewhere around there

@edmaul69 Thank you very much! If I installed MAME 2016 and made them work with that, a problem was corrected! It seems to be a problem of MAME2010, MAME2003 and FBA!

@tenmabashi also donkey kong locks up in mame2010 but is working great in mame2016.

As others have explained, certain emulators need the samples available for sounds to work. It's not a problem per se with the emulator.

@mitu with lr-mame2010 it doesnt need the samples. Both donkey kong and donkey kong jr have problems in lr-mame2010 but work fine with any romset after .116 in lr-mame2016.

mame2010/0.139 does still use samples, although not for the Donkey Kong games I believe.

It may be worth noting that both games are also fully functional in AdvanceMAME. Seeing as how these issues didn't exist in MAME 0.78 or 0.139, I guess they stem from the libretro core conversions, similar to the Midway MCR issues that were recently ironed out.

@markwkidd yeah sorry to not state that i was referring to the donkey kong games. Several of the nintendo games dont use the samples anymore.

Ah, I didn't catch the fact that the games work in the original MAME versions. If that's true for 0.78 then there I guess an issue post would be appropriate in the mame2003-plus repo. :toot toot: lol

edmaul69

@mediamogul yeah something made lr-mame2010 go wrong. It no longer has frameskip and a lot of previously working games like the golden tees and donkey kong lock up now.

You guys don't ever get to rest do you? Are you planning on starting an issue, or would you like me to?

yeah something made lr-mame2010 go wrong. It no longer has frameskip and a lot of previously working games like the golden tees and donkey kong lock up now.

Do you remember any kind of rough time frame as to when this might have happened?

edmaul69

@mediamogul as soon as i went to 4.4 with the new retroarch. Acts the same when i stuck lr-mame2010 from jessie on 4.4. Thats at least when I noticed. I dont have jessie anymore to test.
